Salt Island, British Virgin Islands

Salt Island was once an important source of salt for passing ships, and still pays a symbolic rent of one sack of salt to the Queen of England at the beginning of each year's harvest. Enjoy snorkeling in the crystal clear waters or explore the wonderful coral habitat that has grown up around the shipwrecked HMS Rhone, which sank in a hurricane in 1867 and now lies in 30-80 feet of water, attracting fish, sea creatures and scuba divers to the area.
